Yeah...if you find a deal on 3x3s...ummm...let me know.

Don't we have a "friend" that hangs out in here that can get bitchin deals on stuff from Latest Rage?

That would be a deal....

...and a "deal" can be pretty subjective anyway...

And Skid... I know the BJ beam isn't ideal... but the 3x3's would still be an improvement... and the front end could be caught up next season.

(can you tell which way i'm leaning on this tonight?)

If you need some stuff, shoot me a PM and I will see what I can do for you...

But for now I can give you some insight on the 3x3 & BJ thing...It will make for an interesting ride...You will feel every gum wrapper with the front end and the back will float...makes handling rather different than a stock car, thats for sure...

And for a while, I was the other way around too...coil overs up front and stock in the rear...It was even weirder!

Now I just need some time to get my dang 3x3s on

I'm picking up the goods from GK on Sunday...

AND! i've ordered a nice blade style fuse block to retrofit in place of the POS EMPI that i've been "making due" with.

AND! I've got window nets enoute to me to keep my womerns paws inside the ride while in motion...

So, look for pics of triple bypass SAW's in my back windows within the next month....

Before you go buying "fix 'er up" tools.

...I might have loaners. Few tools that are specific that you will use one time.

I'm just down the street, let me know if you ever need help.

CALL OFF THE SEARCH GENTLEMEN...

I've found me some type III drums... with studs pressed in and another set of backing plates no less!!!

I've once again encountered a giving person with old baja parts that refused to accept any payment. All that was asked is that I help out another persons car next chance I get... so I guess i'm building Wrisley a bumper after all.....

How 'bout some pics of your awesome shed. Totally not relevant, but cool none the less. And dont forget pics of the signatures either (then again, better leave those out)!!

"another person" Not the same one you've been building since day 1.

I keep looking for a baby blue VW terrorizing the streets of Poway. No sightings yet.
